Castle in the City Dublin is a tiny town that packs a lot of punch. Rich in history, and full of lush landscape, there's a metropolitan flair that still feels cozy at the same time.

For the full experience, stay at Clontarf Castle, where one night will have you asking for an extended stay. Once an ancient castle, it's been restored and modernized, with polished Georgian accents throughout, and an awesome location near the town center.
